This change adds the --direct-io flag to the mount. This means the
page cache is completely bypassed for reads and writes. No read-ahead
takes place. Shared mmap is disabled.
This is useful to accurately read files which may change length
frequently on the source.
Before this change, the VFS layer did not properly handle unicode normalization,
which caused problems particularly for users of macOS. While attempts were made
to handle it with various `-o modules=iconv` combinations, this was an imperfect
solution, as no one combination allowed both NFC and NFD content to
simultaneously be both visible and editable via Finder.
After this change, the VFS supports `--no-unicode-normalization` (default `false`)
via the existing `--vfs-case-insensitive` logic, which is extended to apply to both
case insensitivity and unicode normalization form.
This change also adds an additional flag, `--vfs-block-norm-dupes`, to address a
probably rare but potentially possible scenario where a directory contains
multiple duplicate filenames after applying case and unicode normalization
settings. In such a scenario, this flag (disabled by default) hides the
duplicates. This comes with a performance tradeoff, as rclone will have to scan
the entire directory for duplicates when listing a directory. For this reason,
it is recommended to leave this disabled if not needed. However, macOS users may
wish to consider using it, as otherwise, if a remote directory contains both NFC
and NFD versions of the same filename, an odd situation will occur: both
versions of the file will be visible in the mount, and both will appear to be
editable, however, editing either version will actually result in only the NFD
version getting edited under the hood. `--vfs-block-norm-dupes` prevents this
confusion by detecting this scenario, hiding the duplicates, and logging an
error, similar to how this is handled in `rclone sync`.
Before this change, writing files to an `nfsmount` via Finder on macOS would
cause critical errors, rendering `nfsmount` effectively unusable on macOS. This
change fixes the issue so that writes via Finder should be possible.
The issue was primarily caused by the handler's HandleLimit being set to -1. -1 is
the correct default for a NullAuthHandler, but not for a CachingHandler, which
interprets -1 not as "no limit" but as "no cache".
This change sets a high default of 1000000, and gives the user control over it
with a new --nfs-cache-handle-limit flag (available in both `serve nfs` and
`nfsmount`. A minimum of 5 is enforced, as any lower than this will be
insufficient to support directory listing.
With automount the target mount drive appears twice in /proc/self/mountinfo.
379 27 0:70 / /mnt/rclone rw,relatime shared:433 - autofs systemd-1 rw,fd=57,...
566 379 0:90 / /mnt/rclone rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime shared:488 - fuse.rclone remote: rw,...
Before this fix we only looked for the mount once in
/proc/self/mountinfo. It finds the automount line and since this
doesn't have fs type rclone it concludes the mount isn't ready yet.
This patch makes rclone look through all the mounts and if any of them
have fs type rclone it concludes the mount is ready.

This adds an additional parameter to the creation of each flag. This
specifies one or more flag groups. This **must** be set for global
flags and **must not** be set for local flags.
This causes flags.md to be built with sections to aid comprehension
and it causes the documentation pages for each command (and the
`--help`) to be built showing the flags groups as specified in the
`groups` annotation on the command.

Before this change, if the a mount was created via the rc but unmounted
externally with `fusermount -u` say, rclone would still believe the mount
was active when it wasn't.
In this commit
f4c40bf79d mount: add --devname to set the device name sent to FUSE for mount display
The --devname parameter was added. However it was soon noticed that
attempting to mount via the rc gave this error:
mount helper error: fusermount: unknown option 'fsname'
mount FAILED: fusermount: exit status 1
This was because the DeviceName (and VolumeName) parameter was never
being initialised when the mount was called via the rc.
The fix for this was to refactor the rc interface so it called the
same Mount method as the command line mount which initialised the
DeviceName and VolumeName parameters properly.
This also fixes the cmd/mount tests which were breaking in the same
way but since they aren't normally run on the CI we didn't notice.
Fixes#6044
Before this change, the device name was always the remote:path rclone
was configured with. However this can contain sensitive information
and it appears in the `mount` output, so `--devname` allows the user
to configure it.

The directory created by `T.TempDir` is automatically removed when the
test and all its subtests complete.

This is possible now that we no longer support go1.12 and brings
rclone into line with standard practices in the Go world.
This also removes errors.New and errors.Errorf from lib/errors and
prefers the stdlib errors package over lib/errors.
This patch will:
- add --daemon-wait flag to control the time to wait for background mount
- remove dependency on sevlyar/go-daemon and implement backgrounding directly
- avoid setsid during backgrounding as it can result in race under Automount
- provide a fallback PATH to correctly run `fusermount` under systemd as it
runs mount units without standard environment variables
- correctly handle ^C pressed while background process is being setting up
Current way of checking whether mountpoint has been already mounted (directory
list) can result in race if rclone runs under Automount (classic or systemd).
This patch adopts Linux ProcFS for the check. Note that mountpoint is considered
empty if it's tagged as "mounted" by autofs. Also ProcFS is used to check whether
rclone mount was successful (ie. tagged by a string containing "rclone").
On macOS/BSD where ProcFS is unavailable the old method is still used.
This patch also moves a few utility functions unchanged to utils.go:
CheckOverlap, CheckAllowings, SetVolumeName.
